List of Ingredients



14 cinnamon graham crackers
1 10-ounce jar apricot filling
2 1-ounce squares semisweet baking chocolate
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1 teaspoon butter
Milk, if needed
1/2 cup slivered almonds (optional)


Recipe

Place two whole rectangular graham cracker sheets side-by-side on a plate, making a square. Spread liberally with apricot filling. Place two more whole graham cracker sheets on top, cross-wise to the original layer; so there is not the same seam break as you build the stack. Press down gently, but not hard enough to push out the filling. Spread with more filling.

Continue alternating layers of graham crackers and filling until there are seven graham layers. The top layer will be plain -- no apricot. Cover and refrigerate for two hours so the graham crackers soften and absorb moisture from the filling. Gently press down softened graham crackers to make sure all layers are compact.

Melt the two squares of chocolate in the microwave and add the corn syrup and butter. Add a little milk if needed to get a thin consistency. Mix well and spread over the top layer. Allow to drip down the sides. Sprinkle with slivered almonds, if desired. Let stand for one hour. Slice in 1-inch slices with a sharp knife.
